Todays shot.

Not much to be seen today, very quiet on the deer front but I ranged this hind at 294 yards and thought to ask the SD brethren " head or shoulder with what calibre?"

Remember she did as all sambar do lifted her head often.

294 yards hind.webp
 
I'll stick my head above the parapet.

Shoulder shot with the .270 and Federal Premium Trophy Copper 130gn

If it was possible to get closer then I would obviously, but the shot would be possible from where you took the picture.
 
If I could close the gap by 60 yards or so I'd be happy with a shoulder/chest/hilar shot from my 270.

(I don't doubt that the 270 would be capable of taking it without getting closer, but I don't have so much faith in my own capability).
 
In my state a 6mm is legal minimum for use on both elk and moose. Anyone willing to take this shot with your .243? Excluding Donkey Basher of course.
